This week in Maths the class were asked,

‘How can we show we know how to use money?’

They discussed in groups and came up with ideas like helping parents pay for a pint of milk or a small snack with coins at a shop but I reminded them that they were in a classroom.  Some other ideas were spoken about and then they thought that they could create a shop and they set about making labels with products and prices on them. Once they had made some the shopping began with them taking turns being the shopkeeper and customers who had to make sure to pay with coins.  This then advanced to some giving change.  The ideas then developed further and one group even create a VIP card for their shop.
Amazing learning and all child led.

Hi everyone!

Now that your child has met their new class and teacher, I wanted to provide Social Stories for them to look at incase they or yourselves wanted a reminder of doors  they use and the people who can help them when they come back in August.

I have also recorded a version they might want to listen to which can help reassure children who are perhaps feeling a little worried about the change.

Take care,

Alison Baldacci (Principal Teacher).

We had a fantastic time meeting all of our new Primary 1s and are very much looking forward to welcoming you back in August as you start your very exciting journey at East Calder.

I have attached some Social Stories as a little reminder of some important faces that can help you when you come and join us in August. You will also find a video of these which I have recorded for the children to listen to.

If you would like a printed copy of this – please contact the school and I can arrange this for you.

Take care,

Miss Baldacci (Principal Teacher).
